Alright, folks, let’s dive into how I figured out this whole college football transfer thing in the new game. It wasn’t super obvious at first, so I’m here to share what I learned, step-by-step.
Figuring Out the Transfer Portal
First things first, I had to find the dang transfer portal. I’m clicking around, totally lost, and finally, I spotted it in the “Team” section. I think. Don’t quote me, it has been a while. Anyway, look for something that says “Transfer Portal”. Click on that bad boy.
Checking Out the Players
Once I was in, I saw a huge list of players. Names, ratings, all that jazz. I was like a kid in a candy store, except the candy is potentially game-changing athletes. I started scrolling through, looking for anyone who caught my eye. My team needed a solid quarterback, so I was mostly focusing on those guys.
Making Contact (or Trying To)
Now, here’s where it got a little tricky. I found a QB I liked, a real gunslinger, and I wanted him on my team. I clicked on his profile and looked for a way to, you know, contact him. Initially, I couldn’t directly reach out. It felt like trying to slide into someone’s DMs without being able to actually send a message.
The Waiting Game (Ugh)
So, I added him to my “watchlist”. I figured this was like showing interest, putting my team’s hat in the ring, so to speak. Then, I had to…wait. Yep, just sit there and hope he noticed me. It felt a bit like high school all over again, hoping your crush would pick up on your subtle hints.
I moved to next week. I found a few more guys I wanted and added them to the watchlist too. You gotta play the field, right?
Finally, Some Action!
After a bit of waiting, I got a notification! One of the players I was interested in was also interested in my team! Woohoo! It felt like getting a match on a dating app. I could finally start the real recruiting process.
Recruiting Time
Now the fun began. I started pitching my team, talking about our awesome facilities, our winning culture (even though we were kinda rebuilding, ahem), and how much playing time he’d get. I used all my available recruiting points each week to woo him. It was like a mini-game within the game.
Sealing the Deal
After a few weeks of this back-and-forth, it came down to decision time. I was on the edge of my seat, refreshing the screen like a maniac. And then…boom! He committed to my team! I legit cheered out loud. My wife thought I was nuts, but she doesn’t understand the grind.
Repeat the Process
I pretty much followed this same process for a few other players. Some I got, some I didn’t. It’s a competitive world out there in the transfer portal, just like in real life, I guess.
So, there you have it. My experience figuring out how to get good transfer player. It ain’t perfect, but it’s what worked for me. Now, go get those players!
